@EA_AljoLax= Lacrosse so I was talking about the lacrosse moves
"There were several patches for NHL 24 so I don't see how 0 work is done after the game releases."
I'll clarify by saying major changes. Sure they'll add jerseys and fix small things but they rarely bother to make major fixes or changes after a game is released. The only major thing I can remember in 24 being fixed was the pressure meter scaling yet there are still a large number of issues present and we've pretty much been told to by the new 70$ game and screw off. Just a few examples
- Bap has MAJOR bugs still.
- They did not touch elite edges all year even though it sees play in almost every WOC game.
- They didn't bother to make changes to the reverse hitting or hitting bind in 24.
- Hitting people and taking a penalty for it while trying to go for a rebound or take a one time wasn't touched
- Injury time scaling in the 1 period quick play mode
- The store not displaying items that can be bought for WOC coins
Those are all major issues that have been around for years or just appeared in 24 and were not touched. That's also a very short list. I didn't even start with HUT or franchises. There is almost 0 meaningful work done after a NHL game is released and you know it.

Community ManagerYou can see all of the patch notes here. A lot more changed than you're aware of.
I would have absolutely loved if the issue with interference penalties when shooting loose pucks was addressed in 24. It was easily my biggest complaint.
A few of the patches had changes to reverse hits. I haven't seen complaints about penalties being taken with them. I've never taken a penalty myself using reverse hitting.
As far as the lacrosse shot goes, I think I've had it scored on me once. It's very easy to defend. I definitely don't like that it's one button, but seeing as how it's difficult to score, it doesn't really bother me.
I never saw any feedback about injury scaling in quickplay. What do you want to see change?
The WoC store has had some issues with the displayed inventory. The team is aware of that so I'm optimistic it'll be addressed in 25.
@EA_Aljomy complaints with the lacrosse goal aren't with the goal itself. It's neat to have and when it works it works but it's so buggy. You can still do the thing where you throw it in the air and it comes back to your stick like it's on a string and take a shot. The goalies seem to not understand how to defend it If you do it right in front of their face. It's kinda dumb how consistent you can score with it in front of the net. As far as how often it's scored I'm not going to complain to much because as you said it's easy to defend but I would like to see the goalies in WOC have a slight chance of saving it. I have never seen a goalie make a save in WOC on the goal but when I'm playing on superstar or all star in online versus the goalies stop it pretty easy.
The injury time scaling in quick play is one I haven't seen mentioned here but twice so to be fair it doesn't seem to get brought up alot. Basically I think its messed up because the quick play has 5 real minutes and the other modes have the sped up 20 minutes. When you get hurt in quick play let's just say 30 seconds to a minute into the game you won't get healthy until like the last 30 seconds of the game. Me and my friend tested this with the same build in both modes. To put it simpler you spend more real life time injured In the quick play mode than you do in other modes. It's kind of like the setting where you can set the penalties to last a real 2 minutes in offline modes but for injuries.On another note, it seems like you agree that they don't make major changes but you cant really say that because you work for EA.

Hopefully, we'll see improvements for the lacrosse shot.
That's a fair statement about injuries in quickplay. Appreciate the feedback.
No. I agree there weren't major changes in patches and that's the intent. Those need to wait for future editions of the game. Patches are just that. Patches. They are intended to fix bugs and tune gameplay. Not add completely new features or make major additions to the game.
Ok so still no real body checking in this years game either . I wont buy it
I agree about the interference penalties whilst shooting. I think 75% of my penalties were that this year.
My 2nd biggest gripe are the extreme hip checking. Do you know if that has been addressed?re : injuries during quick play: Yes If you get injured during quick play you’ll be injured the whole game because it uses real time instead of accelerated.
Being able to skate around checks is something I’d love to see. I hope having balance and strength can be an effective strategy too.
anyway looking forward to this new game.

You can see in the trailer where the carrier avoids a check with the new skating. As far as the other issues you mentioned go, I don't have any news on those. I know the team was well aware of the issue with interference calls. The injuries with quickplay feedback is new to me. I imagine the team does know about it, but I'll pass on that feedback.
It would be really nice if you guys fixed up the glitches such as the loadout glitch. When you leaves loadouts and are about to ready up it doesn’t allow forcing you to rejoin. Another glitch would be the lag just during the face off that isn’t a wifi issue it happens randomly.
